Energy Storage and the Evolution of Population Dynamics

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2002
We explore the mutual dependence of life history evolution and population dynamics by modeling a structured rotifer population that preys on a dynamic food supply. We focus on the ecological role of energy storage. A physiologically based submodel describes how individual predators allocate assimilated energy among growth, reproduction, and storage. We

Evolution of Matter and Energy

1992
Maybe during our time, at the end of the twentieth century or at the beginning of the next century, the old dream of natural sciences will become reality—the theory which unifies all phenomena, the natural and the artificial, the smallest and the largest, the simplest and the most complex, the past and the future, the here and the elsewhere.

Evolution of Public Response to the Energy Crisis

Science, 1974
There is a wide range of technical measures to improve the efficiency of fuel use in industry. The economic justification for adopting these measures can, as a rule, be readily established. If one can resolve the nontechnoeconomic constraints which affect the adoption of these measures, one can look forward to substantial reductions in the fuel ...

Energy and human evolution

Population and Environment, 1995
Life on Earth is driven by energy. Autotrophs take it from solar radiation and heterotrophs take it from autotrophs. Energy captured slowly by photosynthesis is stored up, and as denser reservoirs of energy have come into being over the course of Earth's history, heterotrophs that could use more energy evolved to exploit them.Homo sapiens is such a ...

Energies and Evolution Criteria

2001
The second principle accounts for the stability of systems, but its most natural statement in terms of entropy increases for isolated systems is too general to be practically useful. This leads to the definition of thermodynamic potentials, such as the Gibbs free energy, whose variations dictate the feasibility of transformations under given specific ...

THE EVOLUTION OF AN ENERGY CONTRARIAN

Annual Review of Energy and the Environment, 1996
[Figure: see text] ▪ Abstract  An analysis of the forces that have shaped energy and energy-related environmental policies is presented through the eyes of an active participant in their evolution over the past 53 years. The problem of self-interest in taking energy and environmental policy positions is addressed candidly.

The Long-Run Evolution of Energy Prices

The Energy Journal, 1999
In this paper I examine the long-run behavior of oil, coal, and natural gas prices, using up to 127 years of data, and address the following questions: Mat does over a century of data tell us about the stochastic dynamics of price evolution, and how it should be modelled?
